February 2026 in “Colloids and Surfaces B Biointerfaces” The composite dressing improved wound healing and hair growth in mice.
March 2023 in “International Journal of bioprinting” This study found that a bioprinted hydrogel scaffold with zinc and silicon ions significantly activated hair follicle stem cells and enhanced blood vessel formation, promoting hair growth in mouse wound models.
July 2026 in “Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology” In this study, gelatin methacrylate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with resveratrol, 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid, and berberine showed enhanced capabilities in wound closure, infection clearance, and skin structure regeneration in mice with infected wounds compared to dressings with single agents.
July 2025 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study found that combining ultrasound with a GelMA hydrogel able to deliver mesenchymal stem cell-derived vesicles significantly improved wound healing in a mouse model by enhancing fibroblast activity, promoting re-epithelialization, and facilitating hair follicle regeneration, highlighting a novel approach to skin regeneration therapy.
